Red Roof Inn

This is a cheap motel and an odd one, too. The location is odd, due to difficult auto access from the nearby intersection — signs are non-​existent and you must drive through other properties to get there. It’s an older motel that has seen better days. It’s a good thing that the price is low, because this place does not compare to Super 8’s or Best Westerns. My rate at this Red Roof was about $ 50 AAA rate. I may be wrong but it appears that a new family has taken ownership of the motel, and they are very friendly and hard working. However my check-​in experience was slow and poor. It seemed that the check-​in clerk was new to the job. The room was bare bones and below average in appearance, but it was well equipped. Several restaurants are within walking distance. I would not return to this hotel, but it was OK for one night during my road trip.

I’ve come here a lot! Now I have had to change rooms once or twice because of a smell or the cleaning crew didn’t clean very good, but over all 5 Stars! The front desk staff has always been very nice and accommodating, and that is what matters when you are paying for a place to lay your head.

Interesting experience.
We arrived at the hotel at 1am as a stop on our vacation. The first thing that we noticed was that the window curtain was open, and the lights were on. Weird, but no biggie. When we went inside, we noticed that the trash cans were full of empty beer bottles and the bed was not fully made. It looked like someone had just gotten out of it. Also, the soap was opened in the shower and had not been replenished with unused toiletries. There were also dirty towels in a pile in the corner of the bathroom. Not just a little bit dirty – there was something gross all over them.
Clearly, the room hadn’t been serviced.
The front desk quickly gave us another room. Apparently, there was a miscommunication about whether or not the room had been cleaned. It ended up not being a big deal, but nonetheless, I wouldn’t recommend going there.
I’ve been to cleaner and more efficient discount hotels.

Hotel management was very accomodating to make this into a favorable stay. I don’t recommend accepting a room facing the highway on the balcony as the noise can clearly be heard in the room throughout the night.

I’ve been to this RRI/​Richmond South three times in the past 2 years. Each time it’s been consistently good! The check-​in process was hassle free and they even honored my special request that I had made online. Last time I had to revise my check-​in/​out dates which was easily taken care of over the phone. My room was clean, quiet and all the amenities worked just fine. I especially like having the electronic safe to keep my camera and laptop in (it may be a bit stuffy when you first walk in, but turn the air on and it then it will be fine in no time). Best of all they improved their WIFI speed since the last time I stayed. When I first stayed it was a paltry 0.5 mbps which didn’t allow you to even run Youtube videos very well (and my email client didn’t run properly). But they evidently changed servers and now it’s up to 3.0+ mbps which works a lot better and my EC was able to send/​receive flawlessly. For the lowest price around, you can’t beat this place. It’s clean, quiet, safe, friendly and close enough to get to downtown Richmond in no time.

Stayed at this location during a weekend trip to Richmond on 7÷17−20. I am very satisfied with this hotel. It was no frills, just a very comfortable room at a great price. The location is very convenient with incredibly easy access to I-​95, it appears to be a very safe area. There is a mcdonalds and a subway across the parking lot. If you are looking for amenities this may not be for you, but if you are looking for a very nice place to stay that won’t break your bank, this is your place. Oh yeah, 100% smoke free rooms, so no stale cigarette smell lingering around.
